The Prince Consort's Beloved

Hatred filled his eyes: "How will my elder sister explain the matter of raising private soldiers? Isn't it to force the emperor to abdicate? Everyone says that my elder sister is promiscuous, but who knew that my elder sister's more than ten concubines were all highly skilled in martial arts. Even the people I sent were helpless."

The eldest princess' body trembled, and her face instantly lost color. She said in disbelief: "Is it really you? Yuan Qi? They all said it was you, but I don't believe it. Did you really send someone to kill me?"

Li Yuanqi frowned, with a look of forbearance in his eyes. He seemed to be holding back something, and finally burst out and said, "It's me! It's me! I gave you so much time, but elder sister, you disappoint me so much. Why do you have to do this? Can't you just pretend you know nothing?"

The eldest princess' eyes turned red, and she refuted in a harsh voice: "My eldest sister didn't! When did my eldest sister want to take your throne? Ask yourself, has my eldest sister ever done anything to harm you?"

Li Yuanqi's eyes also turned red, as if he was infected by her, and his face was also filled with anger.

His eyes were red with anger as he asked loudly, "What are the reasons for the eldest sister's concubines and private army? Why would the eldest sister not even recognize An'er's biological father? Why is the eldest sister so close to Xiao Luobai? Apart from deposing the emperor and establishing a new one, what else could the eldest sister do to such an extent!"

The princess stared at Li Yuanqi with tears streaming down her cheeks. She was angry and extremely sad. Her beloved brother actually misunderstood her like this...

She was filled with grief and anger, and shouted back, "For what? For you! My elder sister did it all for you!"

Li Yuanqi's eyes also turned red, and he shouted loudly: "Of course it's for me! For my throne!"

He suddenly laughed, and his laughter was tinged with sadness.

He laughed softly as if talking to himself, "What could be the purpose of my elder sister's lovers and private army?"

The laughter became even sadder, and he repeated, "For what?"

His eyes were red, and he suddenly raised his voice: "Of course it's to deal with me! You thought you were doing it without anyone noticing, but I've already noticed that you've played both sides, on the one hand you gave He Wenzheng a son to tie him down, and on the other hand you were having an affair with Xiao Luobai, who has been providing you with military supplies!"

As he spoke, he looked towards the city with a stern gaze and said angrily: "And he has been training soldiers for you!"

Li Yuming interrupted their argument and said, "Your Majesty..."

The two followed Li Yuming's gaze and saw that almost all the soldiers under the city had fallen, with only two left still insisting on besieging He Wenzhen.

The princess put her hands on the bricks of the city wall and looked at the people below. She shouted worriedly, "A Zheng!"

He Wenzhen took a moment to glance at the people on the city wall, frowned, and said nothing, continuing to swing his weapon to block their attacks.

Li Yuanqi chuckled a few times, as if praising: "He is indeed the person chosen by my elder sister, and he is indeed the veteran General He."

After he finished speaking, he made a gesture and several archers rushed out from the city wall. They drew their bows and aimed their arrows skillfully at the people under the city.

The princess was horrified, looked at Li Yuanqi, and said hurriedly: "Yuanqi, what are you doing..."

Before she could finish her words, arrows were shot downwards.

The eldest princess looked in the direction of the arrow with fear.

Li Youan also opened his eyes wide and looked down.

Only Li Yuanqi looked relaxed. He had everything planned out and was watching this wonderful fight of a trapped beast with great interest, as if he was watching a play.

The only two guards left under the city had been shot by arrows and fell to the ground. He Wenzhen avoided the arrows and was not injured.

Just as the princess breathed a sigh of relief, she saw the archery guards draw their bows and arrows again, aiming at the people under the city.

The princess's horrified eyes moved to Li Yuanqi's smiling face, and she explained in a panic: "Yuanqi, don't do that! I have never thought of harming you. I am doing this for you. I am helping you. I want to get rid of Prince Yun..."

Li Yuanqi stopped smiling when he heard her words, his brows were cold and he interrupted her in a deep voice: "Get rid of Prince Yun, and then get rid of me, right?"

The princess wanted to refute: "No..."

Before she finished speaking, Li Yuanqi interrupted her angrily, "Stop quibbling!"

Li Yuanqi's eyes were determined.

He didn't want to listen, and he didn't dare to listen. He was afraid that he would be soft-hearted. He was an emperor, how could an emperor be indecisive? It was because his father was too kind that Prince Yun was able to cover the sky with one hand. How could he repeat the same mistake?

He had already found out the truth. His eldest sister had been planning for many years. She had started to take action since she knew that he was not their biological son. He did not wrongly accuse his eldest sister. He did not wrongly accuse any of them.

Li Yuanqi's expression became even more determined, his eyes were bloodshot and he shouted angrily: "Do you think I will still believe you!"

As he spoke, the archer fired his arrow again.

The eldest princess looked down nervously, with a frightened expression like a frightened prey.

The archers kept shooting arrows, and He Wenzhen kept blocking and dodging with his weapon.

The princess's eyes followed the flying arrows. She clutched the stone bricks on the wall with both hands. Her knuckles turned white from the force and veins on the back of her hands bulged. Her panic reached its peak and she shouted, "No!"

But no one paid any attention to her, and the arrows continued to be shot.

Her face was pale and her heart was beating like a drum, faster and faster.

She came back to her senses and yelled at Li Yuanqi, "Yuanqi, stop! Make them stop!"

She wanted to move forward and grab Li Yuanqi's clothes, but was blocked by Li Yuming.

The eldest princess was terrified and tears rolled down her eyes.

Li Yuanqi's face was cold. He drew out the sword of the guard beside him, pulled Li Youan who was next to him, and put the knife to Li Youan's neck.

Li Youan's eyes were red, he kept biting his lower lip and clenching his fists, but did not say a word.

His uncle has never liked him and he doesn't want to talk to him. He can't cry now, because his mother will be even more worried. He can only endure it. He is still too weak and can't do anything. He has to pretend to be strong and fearless. If he gets scared and screams and cries, his mother will get even more panicked and scared.

The princess stared at the sharp blade on Li Youan's neck and said in shock: "Yuanqi, are you crazy? An'er is your nephew."

Li Youan pursed his lips and said calmly: "Mother...don't cry."

Li Yuanqi looked at Li Youan in surprise and said, "I didn't expect that my nephew is quite courageous. He is indeed the son of General He."

Li Yuanqi sneered at the princess with interest and said, "I am very curious, does your elder sister love her son more or General He more?"

As he spoke, he gave Li Yuming a look, and Li Yuming understood and stopped the archers.

He Wenzheng finally had a chance to catch his breath. He looked up at the city wall in panic and saw the emperor holding Li Youan hostage. He was horrified and shouted, "An'er."

He Wenzheng looked away a little and shouted again: "Yuan Tao!"

Several people on the city wall looked at He Wenzheng together.

He Wenzheng shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, if you have anything to say, come to me, don't hurt the innocent children."

The princess looked at He Wenzheng, then at Li Youan, and burst into tears, grief-stricken: "Yuanqi, what do you want to do..."

Li Yuanqi smiled and said to the eldest princess calmly, "Choose, elder sister. Don't waste any more time. It's getting dark and I'm in a hurry to go back and rest."

He was really tired today, having just sent his sister away. If He Wenzhen had not come back today, he would not have had the time to take care of his sister. How could he have felt at ease sending her back to Princess Shanyang's Mansion?

And that Xiao Luobai, I don't know what kind of magic potion he fed to my sister that made her love him so much, it's really hateful.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. Li Yuanqi's eyes flashed with ferocity, and he shouted angrily, "Since my elder sister can't choose, then let me choose for her!"
